Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. That was a skillfull move by Obama, asking Clinton to be part of his administration. Not only did she bring the army of Clinton insiders with her, she wouldnt be running against him in 2012.
Yep.People who are upset that Hilary may win the nomination are going to say its Black people's fault aren't they?

I've been curious about the black support for Hillary Clinton as well. I can't imagine personally being black and supporting her. But whatever.
I guess it's short memories and the residual goodwill of Bill, plus the general name recognition.
It was actually hardcore Hillary supporters (Hillaryis44 types) who are now Trump supporters (not kidding).
Obviously if this were an issue Obama wouldn't want anything to do with her, but he clearly trusts her.
Why wouldn't people of all colors be concerned with voting for a candidate that has tact and common decency. This isn't about what black people think, it is about seeing the way Hillary has treated black people in the past, which should concern everyone:black, white, etc.
I wouldn't say he trusts her more like in politics, you like to keep enemies close to you and busy.

Right so you give them one of the most important cabinet positions during a time of War...
Yup. Prop 8 in California.

Real Talk? I'm already bracing myself for the shitstorm
I don't visit Reddit or 4chan so I'm really just hoping GAF OT stays readable

Damn, being an enemy of Barrack Obama seems to really pay off.
It absolutely is. There has been article after article, rant after rant about people bewildered about how could it be possible that black voters could vote for Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders. I mean, I don't think you are doing it intentionally but it essentially what you are doing right now. "Why are black people voting for Hillary when Bernie marched with MLK!!".. There are black Bernie supporters, obviously.. And his history and his message has worked for many black voters. But we wouldn't be talking about this if it wasn't for how Bernie is losing largely because of just how many black voters have gotten behind Hillary, and how the percentages have essentially forced Bernie to concede the Southern states.
People who want Bernie to win have searched for every possible reason and explanation about this other than actually listening to the voters themselves and what they have to say. And again I don't really know what to tell you other than direct you towards the people who are voting for her and what their reasoning is. Because that is exactly what this is about.
Basically: Your average voter doesn't care as much as you do.Then can someone explain to me the support among the black voter base Hillary has guaranteed? Because from my outsider perspective I'm not seeing a very strong relation between her platform and what I perceive what groups like BLM are asking for. She isn't terrible, but I don't see her come out strongly enough on relevant topics to have that demographic basically on lock. She just seems like a regular democratic candidate. Way better than the republicans. But not noticeably better than her direct competitor within her party. At least from my understanding of her platform.

They know the Clinton name, they liked Bill Clinton, they don't know (or care) who this other dude is. It's as simple as that.
I'm sure there are people on this message board who have looked at both of their records and picked one or the other, but the majority of people - white and black - aren't as invested in this primary campaign as you.
